Kyle Walker's wife Annie Kilner to shun the official Euros WAGs group and spend £35,000 flying to and from Germany for each game as she doesn't want to play 'happy families' with the England star

Kyle Walker's wife Annie Kilner has decided not to fly as part of the official WAGs group to the Euros because she does not want to play 'happy families' with the England footballer, MailOnline can reveal.

Annie, 30, is instead planning to hire a private jet and fly in and out for each of England's games in Germany with the four children she shares with Walker.

The jet will cost Annie around £35,000 for each return journey and she is also planning to take a friend with her to help deal with the youngsters - baby Rezon, two months and sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five.


A source told the Mail: 'Things have got really bad between Annie and Kyle, and she is only going to the Euros for the sake of the children. If there weren't kids involved, she wouldn't be going at all.

'She doesn't want to be part of the WAGs group because she doesn't feel she's in a proper relationship with Kyle and doesn't want to maintain any pretence that she is. She's told him how she feels and isn't prepared to be in Germany playing happy families with him.'

The source added: 'It doesn't seem right to Annie that she should stay in the WAGs hotel because she doesn't feel like an official WAG. The arrangements are being made and she's more comfortable with travelling independently to Germany for each of the games.'

The Football Association usually make all the travel arrangements for WAGs during major tournaments and also provide accommodation for them in an official hotel. Family time is also scheduled so that players get to spend time with their partners and children.

Her decision to travel to Germany was also influenced after Walker's ex-lover Lauryn Goodman raised the prospect of attending the tournament with their two children.

Instagram influencer Lauryn is the mother to Walker's son Kairo, four, and daughter, who is known to family and friends as KK and is ten months old.

Annie only discovered last December, when she was pregnant with her and Walker's fourth child, that he had also fathered a second child with Lauryn, leading to a breakdown in their marriage.

The source said: 'Annie doesn't want Lauryn to have one up on her and is livid that she intends to go to Germany. She feels that it's really out of order and is just going there to cause more trouble.

'Her marriage to Kyle might not be in a good state but she's determined to stand her ground and ensure that Lauryn does not get all the publicity during the Euros. If she (Lauryn) is going to be there, then so is Annie.'

Annie and Walker's relationship is said to be at an 'all time low' with the couple barely speaking

Annie and Walker's relationship is said to be at an 'all time low' with the couple barely speaking. In an effort to to reconcile their differences the Manchester City and England footballer temporarily returned to live in the family home in Cheshire.

But he is now back in a £20,000 per month mansion he rented nearby when their marriage initially hit the rocks earlier this year.

The source said: 'It's as bad as it's ever been, and I fear for the future of their marriage. Kyle isn't in the family home anymore and is out most of the time doing his own thing.

'Even when he won the Premier League, Annie and the kids attended the final match, but they didn't speak at all. She didn't even congratulate him and barely smiled, even when he took the children onto the pitch to celebrate.'

The couple also went on a holiday with their four children to Wales recently to celebrate Walker's 34th birthday but that has done little to repair their marriage.

According to reports, Walker promised the son he shares with Lauryn tickets for England's Euro games, which he later denied.

Lauryn had vowed to be in Germany when he plays, telling friends she was 'determined my children will get to see their daddy playing'.

She also claimed to friends that Walker had told her: 'I want you there, and I want Kairo to see me play.'

One friend said: 'She won't let Kairo down. She told friends Kyle wanted her to take the children to the Euros when they were still close, before Annie found out they had a daughter.

'Kairo has been excited. Lauryn is a good mum. She won't let her son be disappointed.'

If Lauryn does travel to Germany, she is unlikely to be sitting with the WAGs group inside the stadium with England football officials indicating that they will block her from joining them 'by any means necessary' amid fears her attendance could throw the highly rated defender off his game.
